Read ROMs through Zips

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Pulling roms out of zip files to play on this emulator is a hassle and
wastes space.

Is there a way to play them while packaged? Or is this a future enhancement?

I think this is not in the works, and will never be, because having to include 
zip
support requires too much memory, and would not allow full speed for most 
games.  To
quote emu_kidid in a thread on tehskeen, "short answer: get over it and start 
using
unzipped.

we can't support any compressed format fast enough due to the fact that we use 
a ROM
cache size of 16MB and there's no room for it to grow."

Fair enough. Thanks for the quick response.
